We've had a fabulous time the last couple of years with the Cottage Charm Giveaway and can you believe, it's almost time for our 3rd annual event! I want to post the event date early so that everyone can have plenty of time to think about what they want to offer in their giveaways. I won't begin the giveaway list until May 1st, but the official blogwide giveaway drawing will be on May 30th, 2009.

So everyone will have the whole month of May to get their names added to the official Cottage Charm Giveaway list once it's posted here at the beginning of May, and then of course from now until then to think about what their giveaway will be.

I will post the official details on May 1st, 2009. Consider this a "mark your calendar" reminder:)

If you are new to the Cottage Charm Giveaway annual event, feel free to take a peek at last years event to get an idea of how it works. It's really great fun for both those that host giveaways and of course those that win the wonderful gifts. Last year we had over 50 giveaway hosts/hostesses and I think this year there will be even more. I'm going to be contacting Cottage Style online market places and ask them to notify their vendors of our 3rd annual event so that they, too, can join up if they like! I have contacted the Etsy Cottage Style Street Team leader and asked that the team be notified as May approaches and she sounded very excited about the CSST participating! And just like last year, my own giveaways this year will include one giveaway drawing for everyone but also a giveaway drawing just for other hostesses.

I'm really excited and hope you can join us as either a giveaway hostess or participant!
